Dale from Norwich in the UK asked a question about the existence of alternative versions of ourselves

Q: In my dreams and meditations it has been hinted to me that there are
"alternative me's" existing. Kind of like different "Dales" who have made
different choices in his life. In some experiences I have had I have met
other versions of myself who, for instance, have not had children and are
more focused in other areas of their lives - such as my music ambition. Is this a true phenomena? Is
this something that you know anything about? Am I experiencing one branch of a tree but there are
other me's experiencingother branches? Are these other me's as conscious as me? Or are they only
"possibilities" that have remained un-realised? If these other me's ARE conscious, I suspect that in
the afterlife I will "merge" back with them? Is the an accurate idea? I am slightly confused by this
issue and would appreciate any thoughts you have about it.

You must tell this story to Dale. In other words, he must focus upon his one unique self and not worry
about the thousand permutations. We believe it is important to focus upon the here and now, this
present life. It does not help to speculate on many lives, many aspects of self and so on. In a sense
there is some truth to his question in that there are many aspects of each of us within this present
life; many aspects for us to discover about ourselves; many strands, many different aspects to
ourselves. Yet to think of different aspects of ourselves having independent existences in other
dimensions, this is confusion. For how then could this other aspect of ourselves be our self if we are
oblivious of it? It would be no more our-self than would our brother or sister who we see as being
separate to ourselves yet in truth they are aspects of our- self. For if we see our origin, and
recognise our origin, as being in the One Mind, of all of us being expressions of the One Mind, we are
in a sense then all expressions of each other.

Therefore Dale's speculation about 'other selves' is only another way of saying, in a sense, what
the nature of the fundamental reality is anyway: that we are all aspects of each other.We are all
aspects of the One Mind. To talk of 'many Dale's', to talk of many different aspects living
independently, is not helpful, is not useful. On another level we may say that we live on this earth
plane at this moment in time to reveal one aspect of ourselves, to discover certain characteristics of
ourselves. But we have all lived many, many lives and experimented with ourselves, discovered things
about ourselves, manifested characteristics of ourselves. And so in a sense we only manifest certain
characteristics in one lifetime, develop certain aspects in one lifetime. But when we return to the
spirit realm we, what you might say, can be aware of the broader picture, to be aware of the
multifarious aspects of ourselves. Therefore I do not see where his question will lead him other than
into confusion. I do not see it as a useful voyage of discovery. (Smiling) He will run aground on
rocks, I think.

Dale asked a further question about the nature of souls

Q: Has the information that has been presented regarding souls been simplified so that we
can attempt to comprehend them? Something is bugging me about “souls” and I can’t easily describe what
it is. I believe that a “soul” is not as straight-forward as it’s been made out.

Soul idea number one:

People talk about about souls in a way that suggests they are individual things. For instance: “the
soul joined the baby at 4 months of age”. That indicates the soul is a body of some kind, Like an
“alien” being that merges with another being (the human animal form). If this is the case – are humans'
bodies designed to merge with a soul? Can a human “host” live without a soul? Are there people who
are soulless? Can a soul join with ..say... A robot?

Soul idea number two:

We also hear about a Great Spirit/Oneness. The Great Spirit is in EVERYTHING. In truth there is
ONLY this one Great Spirit. So, if a baby was born, would it automatically act as a vacum that “sucks”
a soul into it. Let me give you an example...If the wind represents the great-One-Spirit of
self-awareness, and a plastic bag represents a body, if I hold the plastic bag up in the sky, it fills
with wind. So the plastic bag gets a spirit within it.

That answers the population question – because no matter how many bags you hold up, the wind will
always fill them all; the Great Spirit never “runs out”. The “ego” self happens when the wind in the
bag considers itself separately to the other wind. But the separateness is an illusion and at death
the wind from the bag can re-intergrate into the other wind.

My question is, which one of the two soul ideas is most accurate? Personally, the idea that feels
right for me, is number two. If comparing to a radio set, with the Great Spirit/Consciousness
representing radio waves, option one would be like saying: “the radio waves choose to enter the
radio” whereas option two would say: “you build a radio, and if it has the ability to pick up the
omni-present radio waves, and it’s tuned right, then it will” I think what I mean is, a body
doesn’t contain a soul, no more than a radio contains radio waves. We are like radio sets. How accurate
is this idea?

Hai: Well we give Dale a symbol, which we have given you all before. We give you the image
of the sea and its waves and each of the crests of these waves is like a human being on the earth
plane. Each of these crests indeed is like a spirit anywhere in the spirit planes also. The mighty sea
is the One Mind of course. So the individual crests of the waves will imagine themselves to be
independent entities. Yet the very ground of their being is within the One Mind of the ocean. This is
some similarity to Dales second hypothesis, I believe. But yet it does not follow as he says when
physical death of body comes it is destruction of spirit soul. For he imagines it is as if the Great
Spirit fills a human form and so becomes individualised in this form then dissipates on the death of
the physical form and returns to the One. He has not allowed for the fact that the individual spirit
is already existing within the One Mind prior to inhabiting human body. So in a sense first hypothesis
is also of some merit (Laughing). But we say to him that the confusion of his mind over this is
because he approaches this problem with his mind, with his rational intellect. You may say to him
(smiling) that it is his rational intellect, which has its limitations.

He then laughed heartily and said:

Hai: In order to truly understand this thing, which he wishes to understand, he would need to attain the
broader perspective of enlightenment.

An Interview with Hai (A Brief Guide to the Spirit World)

Recently we had a special sitting for a group of people. A number of the questions asked that
night were concerned with general questions about the Spirit World and we thought they may be of interest
particularly to newcomers to the site.

Q: What happens and where do you go when you die?

Hai: When you die you are met by someone friendly. You are met by someone who will help you
across the divide; who will make you welcome in this new abode. When you come here you will feel that
it is familiar yet it is not familiar, if you see what I mean. Yet it will seem familiar to you. You
will not feel that it is an alien place, a difficult place, or an unusual place. You will feel that it
is familiar to you. So you will feel that it is a bit like returning home. You will not be too
surprised when you get here. It's a beautiful place. There are many realms though within these spirit
worlds, many realms, and each person is attracted to the level that they wish to be attracted to. They
come to the realm that they see as a suitable environment, a fitting environment. So the ancient law
of like attracts like applies in this also; that you are attracted to the realm, the world, that you
are accustomed to; which is suited to you.

Q: Does it look like earth?

Hai: Yes it looks like earth but it is a lot better.

Hai laughed and indicated that Davia had made a comment saying:

Hai: "It is better because it is sunny." But it is like the earth, but not like the earth.
For the colours, they are different, more vibrant, yet more subtle also. More subtle, more vibrant and
it is like everything, every place, everywhere, is alive. You feel the Divine Consciousness in all
things. This is true of your plane also, but it is like It is veiled more on your plane and many of
you are not adjusted to It, do not see It, are not sensitive to It. But on this plane in the spirit
world, you will be aware of It, sensitive to It. It is like a blood flowing through all things, a
vibrancy flowing through all things, and you are aware of It. It is like the flowers sing out and
reach out to you as you look at them.

Q: Is everybody equal in the spirit world?

Hai: Yes everyone is equal. There is of course difference in experience, difference in
wisdom, in the degree of unfoldment. This is purely a matter of, you could say, time, yes. For we all
can be wise, we all can unfold our wisdom, but some have treaded further along the path to wisdom so
at this point they may be further along the path. But you all follow the path too, so everyone is
equal. Yet some are more wise, in the sense of being able to see the bigger picture perhaps, more than
others. We are all aware of our divine brotherhood, divine sisterhood within the One Mind.

Q: So what happens to people who've been bad on the earth, do they go to the spirit world too?

Hai: They go to their own place. They are attracted to their own vibration. But you must
know that we talk of a great variety of vibration, a great variety of orientation here. Some people
have indeed not had the best interests of themselves or their brothers or sisters at heart while they
have been on the earth plane. Therefore they are attracted to a realm where this way of thinking
prevails. But we do not speak of this in terms of those who have erred in a minor way on the path. We
speak of those who have made a, what shall we say, "vocation" of harming others. They are led by their
own drive and desire to a realm where such views prevail, where such vibrations prevail. It is not a
pleasant place. There are many such places, some less pleasant than others. But they are there out of
their own volitions, their own wish. They would feel uncomfortable in our place that I speak about,
for there they would feel out of place, uncomfortable. Yet we try to reach these souls. Tirelessly
those who work with them try to reach them, try to entice them out from their prisons to join the
community of light.

Q: How do you spend your time?

Hai: It is not like time on your earth. There is not the constraint of the clock. There is
not the same sense of time. Time does not apply in our realm. But yet we can measure things by our
activities, by the enterprises in which we engage and we can also be aware of the passage of time on
your plane; the passage of events, the changing of events. Time does not apply in the normal sense in
our realm; we are free of time.

Q: Do you stay the same age as when you die?

Hai: Age does not apply because time does apply and the change, which is time, does not
apply. Therefore you may think of it as staying the same age (laughs) but it is not quite like that.
But there is not the change, which you have become accustomed to, the change which is part of your
life and indeed which is part of the fabric of your life; a necessary fabric that you experience the
physical world in.

Q: Are all families reunited in the spirit world, whether they are young or old?

Hai laughs. He is obviously listening to Davia and replies:

Hai: He says,(referring to Davia): "They are reunited whether they like it or not."(Laughter).
But this is a simplification. We would say that it is a case again of like attracting like. It might
well be that on the earth plane you have put up with each other. (Smiles). You have got by with each
other. But there may not necessarily be merit in you staying together in the spiritual realms. Can you
understand this? This does not mean that you have animosity to each other or that you have a desire to
be away from each other, but that it may be more appropriate for you to be with other people. But this
is a matter for individual choice. Where there is a bond the bond will survive the passage of events.
Where there is a bond of love it will survive all things. Therefore, though for a time you may be parted
from someone whom you have loved on the earth plane, yet assuredly the bond of love will bring you
back together again; for the bond of love is Eternal my friends.

Q: That's lovely, thank you.

Another visitor asked:

Q: How do people with disabilities fare when they arrive in the spirit world?

Hai: They are cured of their affliction because their affliction is purely to do with the
body. Yet there can be a greater affliction of the mind. The affliction of the mind is more difficult
to cure for the affliction of the mind carries its way across into the spiritual being, the spiritual
mind if you wish. Therefore this can be more difficult if harm has been done to the person, either by
others or by themselves in terms of the affliction of the mind. Therefore they may need help and loving
caring to help them to move forward, to help them to transcend their affliction. There are many in our
realms that are ready to do this task lovingly and caringly.

Hai: It is very small. It is somewhere I go to meditate, somewhere that is no bigger than
this room, as a comparison. But it is like a garden in which I meditate. This I suppose would be my
favourite thing but (smiling) as Davia has said many times: "When you have so many things you are
spoilt for choice." (Davia was clearly taking part in the discussion, in the background. Hai was quiet
for a minute). Davia says to me: "Yes that's right old Hai. Convey the spiel for the ticket sale."

NB: We need to explain here that it has been an ongoing joke for some years now with Davia and
his talk of selling us "reduced" priced tickets to the spirit world if we go now instead of later.
Amongst much laughter he tells us he needs people to work with him on the "gates," so to entice us to
go now he takes every opportunity he can in telling us how beautiful the spirit land is. There was
some joviality as Eileen explained to the visitors about Davia's need to sell tickets. She added that
Davia's tickets were just one-way tickets and the same visitor asked, with amusement, if there were
any refunds. Hai responded smiling:

Hai: You will not need a refund, Davia would say. You will not wish for a refund. But yet
though we paint an attractive picture, and though many who come here say they can't wait to go, they
still seem reluctant to take the ticket from Davia.

When the laughter had subsided, Hai was asked:

Q: How old are you, Hai?

Hai: I was living to ninety or more when I was on the earth plane. But where does age apply
now? I may present myself to you as a young man, a middle aged man, an old man. What does it matter?
What does it matter? Age does not apply now.

Q: Do spirits get reincarnated?

Hai: You may be reincarnated but this is usually often a matter of choice; that you see some
purpose, some usefulness in reincarnation, to experience something new of life, some new aspect of
yourself by experiencing earth life. Therefore you see it as an opportunity to grow, and you may feel
moved to take up opportunity.

Q: Do you get over the sadness of leaving your loved ones on the earth plane?

Hai: Yes for our plight is less severe than yours. For though you may connect with us through
your mediums or through a sensitivity of your own, we are better placed to maintain the connection.
For it is easier for us to see you than it is for you to see us. It is easier for us to come down from
our vibration to connect with you than it is for you to concretely connect with us.

Therefore it is less difficult for us, though frustrating. For we can be in your presence and you
may not be aware of it. You may not be aware of us standing beside you. This can feel a lonely,
isolating thing. Therefore this may be difficult.

But we would say to you when you think of your loved ones in spirit, to think of them with love and
affection; to think of happy times you have shared together; to think of joyful times you have shared
together; to rejoice in the person, in the relationship and your knowledge of them. This is a positive
way to think of it and also a positive way to connect with your loved ones. For we connect with you
through thought and feeling my friends. When you send out a feeling of loving affection your loved ones
will automatically connect with this, like you had switched on an electric current. They will connect
with you as surely as when you switch on your sockets and switches and you have light. Therefore you
must not doubt this my friends. If you reach out to them then they connect with you, even though you
may only be dimly aware of it. But if you reach out with mourning and grief it brings sadness to them.
Some mourning and grief is inevitable in your world for you suffer the loss of a loving relationship,
of spending time together. But we would caution you to try to keep this mourning and grief in
moderation so that it does not become a hindrance, a blockage to you in connecting with your loved
ones in the spirit realms. For if you reach out in mourning and grief and sadness this could create
sadness in those whom you love. It creates hindrance to those whom you love. So therefore it is best
to think of them with loving positive thought.

Q: Is there anything you wished you learned while you where living on the earth plane;
any life lessons?

Hai: Yes - greater patience.

Q: Do we all have spirit guides?

Before answering this question Hai smiled and commented that Davia had told him it was
time to move on. Nevertheless he answered the question first.

Hai: You all have spirit guides, my friends, yes; many spirit guides sometimes. You may have
one main guide but you may have many helpers. Spirit guides may also change during your life depending
on your own need. For this is part of non attachment. We provide ourselves and are willing to help you
according to your timely need. If your need moves on, your need changes, then we are willing to step
aside and let someone else more fitting help you. We do this even with this group. When we started
with this group's, what you call "psychic development nights", we sent through many spirits to work
with you, to try things out, to see how they work with you, to find best fit, best connection. We have
tried many spirits in this way, but we found eventually the best person for the job, best fit for you.
This is not to say that other spirits are not the best fit somewhere else, but for you we found Jacob,
so Jacob has worked with you for many a month now. Goodbye my friends. We are pleased you have made
this journey and to have met you.
